Researchers have developed a new way to detect protein movements inside cells, which signal a variety of cellular changes such as those in cancer cell development. The method could help diagnose cancer in the future.
By combining two distinct techniques, the technology can examine large numbers of cells individually, a feat not previously possible, said Chang Lu, a Purdue University assistant professor of agricultural and biological engineering.
